Canterbury Remembrance Day 2025

The Squadron joined the city this morning in remembering those who did not come home.

We will remember them.

As well as the parade, we also supported with wreath laying and also cadets gave readings during the Cathedral service. All did us proud.

Over two packed days, cadets explored the foundations of leadership through both theory and practical sessions, covering:

✅ Introducing Leadership – What leadership means and why it matters
✅ Understanding Leadership – Exploring different styles and approaches
✅ Implementing Leadership – Applying leadership in team and task settings
✅ Delivering Leadership – Leading with confidence and purpose

Day 1 focused on building knowledge and insight, while Day 2 challenged cadets to put their learning into action through dynamic and engaging practical exercises.
